Two negative plays I saw. He got walked backwards into Flynn's lap by #55 on a bull rush twice. He was too high and couldn't recover. Neither was a free rusher or fire drill, but both were bad. He needs to get lower and anchor better.Originally Posted by Fritz
He also kept getting neutralized in the run game. His size and long arms mean you aren't getting around him, but his best straight run blocking was a no decision. At worst, he would get punched and retreat a step.
McCarthy said Sherrod transformed himself and was stronger this year. But that didn't translate often to the field. He needs to use his legs, get lower and as KYP said, learn to punch first or like Clifton, ignore the punch and win anyway with strength.
